I think the one you're on is a tricyclic AD. SSRI stands for selective seratonin rebuke inhibitor (SP?) they work by blocking and re-routing seratonin. There have been links to seratonin and IBS. Look through some of the articles in the library. It may be very beneficial for you to talk to your dr about adding in an SSRI, Zoloft, Wellbutrin or Lexapro seem to be the most popular.
I also just read the thing about Adrian and his comments. What a terrible thing for him to say!!! I would be crushed, this is exactly what you do not need right now! I also agree that the letter is a good idea. Since he has never done anything like this before and is trying to apologize, I think you guys can work it out but you do need to be honest with him how sick you are and let him know those types of comments are just not acceptable!! I would chaulk it up to being drunk abd the stress of moving but that doesn't excuse his actions!! GRRR!!! MEN!!!! Big Hugs Sweetie!!! Hang in there!
